Surviving the Holidays – Rabbit Edition

The holiday season is about to start and many of us will want to put up a Christmas tree and other decorations. When a curious little bunny hops around and feels like everything was put up as a giant snack, there are a few things to consider. First of all, rabbits can eat from all…

No More Pellets – An Introduction

When we first adopted Bunny, he was a little over a year old and on a high pellet, hay, and low vegetable diet.

Indoor Rabbit Housing

If you have ever set foot in a local pet store, you may have noticed that for every 30 shelves with items for dogs and cats there may be one for rabbits (if you are really lucky). Most of the time, that one shelf isn’t even just for rabbits, it’s for small animals in general,…

Rabbits on a Leash: What You Need To Know

We have thought about offering leashes in our shop very carefully before deciding to do so – after all, they are quite controversial and potentially dangerous. Some rabbits love to be outside and don’t mind a leash while others will absolutely refuse to tolerate one. Forcing the latter kind of rabbit could possibly be considered…

Interesting Facts About Rabbits

Here are some fun facts about rabbits. Did you know…? A rabbit takes approximately 18 naps per day. Rabbits are not rodents. They are lagomorphs. They originally come from the Mediterranean (Spain, Portugal, parts of North Africa). Rabbits were domesticated by the Romans approximately 300BC. They were mainly used for meat and fur and weren’t…

Summer Time: Rabbits and Heat

At this time of the year it is important to keep our little rabbit friends out of the heat – after all, they are used to dim caves and underground tunnels and therefore overheat quickly. While Bunny is mostly indoors and enjoys our air conditioning, we did have to fall back on less modern ways…
